Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Congress was hesitant to support "no rent" campaigns initiated by peasants in most places.
The poorer peasants were not only concerned with reducing revenue demand. Many of them were small tenants working land they had rented from landowners. The small tenants struggled to pay their rent as the Depression persisted and cash wages decreased. They demanded that the landlord cancel the outstanding rent. They joined various radical movements, frequently led by Socialists and Communists. The Congress was generally unwilling to support "no rent" initiatives because it was afraid ofraisingp concerns that may enrage the wealthy peasants and landlords. The relationship between the poor peasants and the Congress thus remained ambiguous.
